Disaster Artist

The beach cinema, with the night as the curtain and the sea as the scene, opens up the boundaries and constraints of the projection hall, allowing the art of video and the magical fusion of nature to collide, blooming with a new charm.

In fact, from an objective point of view, due to the influence of waves and sea breeze, it is often difficult for beach cinemas to present the sound effects and light and shadow art in the original film. For the Weihai Film Festival, which advocates the "image charm", they should "resist" This form of screening is right, but in fact, among the three major film festivals, only Weihai still retains the tradition of open-air cinemas.

The fundamental reason is that open-air cinemas are a means of screening that open up film barriers.

For a long time after the birth of the movie, the cinema has been considered a "high-end" consumer entertainment venue.

Maybe young people today can't imagine that watching a movie is only 30 or 50, why is it a "high-end" entertainment venue; but before the cinema became a part of people's entertainment life, there was a time when a movie ticket was a family month for a month of all entertainment expenses.

Especially before the rise of large chain cinemas, because of the limited seats in private cinemas, it was not uncommon to see "one ticket hard to get".

It is precisely because of this that people tend to dress up when they go to the cinema and choose their best dinner dress, as if attending a grand ceremony.

It is naturally difficult for the general public to see movies. It is against this background that open-air cinemas were born. Choosing an open space to show movies not only lowers movie tickets, but also has more space, which also makes the movie really go. into the lives of ordinary people.

Onkyo and Lanxia canceled the open-air screenings for various reasons. Only Weihai persisted. Every year, the film festival will hold a beach film festival with classic screenings. Tickets are free. All film lovers are welcome to enjoy those legendary classics. , because they always believed that:

Movies should belong to the big screen, but also to the audience.

In addition to Weihai, there are actually many film festivals that have retained the tradition of open-air screenings. In the valley, on the playground, on the parking lot, on the grassland, etc., all film lovers are welcome to gather together with open arms.

When Lu Qian came to Weihai, he also made a movie viewing plan, looking forward to seeing some novel works in the main competition unit or the director's biweekly, but soon Lu Qian found that he was still too young and naive, and obviously did not understand the film festival. What's going on, not to mention watching movies, even the time to eat and sleep is very tight——

Thinking about it seriously, the film festival is only eleven days from the beginning and the end, and everything is crowded and waiting to be detonated in a short period of time, as if the busyness can be explained.

The plan to watch the new participating films has been put into practice, but Lu Qian still hopes to find an opportunity to experience the atmosphere of the film festival.

In Lu Qian's view, the reason why the film festival is a film festival is never the jury or the red carpet guests, but the film and the audience. If there is no excellent works and appreciative audience, then the film festival will inevitably be overshadowed, and then Reduced to the mutual compliment and self-indulgence of a bunch of Vanity Fair practitioners.

Lu Qian wanted to watch a movie.

From this perspective, the concepts of Lu Qian and Weihai Film Festival have many similarities. It is no wonder that the film selection committee of Weihai Film Festival likes "tourists" so much, and Lu Qian was selected into the main competition unit for the first time.

After last night, Lu Qian appeared at the beach cinema for the second night in a row.

Last night's show was the handed down classic mime "City Lights", which tells the tragedy in a comedy way. The smile and tears on each audience's face is the best affirmation of the movie.

Classics, after the precipitation of time and the polishing of years, can still bring the shock of watching movies and emotional resonance, and will never be outdated, because the joys and sorrows of human beings are common in different eras and generations.

From a distance, Lu Qian noticed the hanging curtain, and after a little attention, he immediately realized that this was another legendary classic "Fright."

Interesting choice!

"City Lights" director and starring Zhuo Bolin is a comedy master in the history of the film industry, and the classic works he directed and acted are truly legendary.

The director of "Fright", Xi Xuede, is an important founder of the horror genre in film history. He has created many narrative techniques and shot scheduling for the entire genre. Up to now, you can still see countless genre directors from his Inspired by movies, not limited to horror genres.

The interesting thing is that the two masters are now legends in their respective genres, but they have never been recognized by the Golden Book Award at their peak, which is also considered to be the most regrettable and most embarrassing in film history. From the side of the page, it can also be seen from the side that comedy and horror movies have never been able to get their name right in the movie genre——

Often, academy directors resist or shy away from the comedy and horror genres because they are considered "sleazy, plain ugly" genres that entertain the masses.

Even now, half a century later, this prejudice still exists. So far, no comedy or horror film has been able to top the Golden Book Award.

So, is there really no "class" in movies? As long as the "balance between business and art" debate remains, the class between genre films will continue to exist.

In fact, Lu Qian was also more or less affected by such prejudice. Just look at the stormy waves caused by "tourists" being shortlisted for the main competition of the three major film festivals.

However, the Weihai Film Festival screened the works of these two masters at the Beach Cinema for two consecutive nights, which is worth pondering:

By the way~www.novelmt.com~ Comedy and horror genres have won the top prizes at the three major film festivals not many times, but not without them; The three major film festivals have also undergone changes and progress, and prejudice has been gradually changed.

Lu Qian found a seat and sat down, his attention was already attracted by the big screen.

Why do many movie lovers keep complaining about Xi Xuede?

It is precisely because of Xi Xuede's shot scheduling and picture composition that vividly interprets the profound meaning of film and video art. He proved through his talent early that the image can break free from the shackles of the screen and the story itself, which is shocking. If it is because of Xi Xuede It would be foolish to ignore this for a horror-thriller type of movie.

With a single glance, I can feel this deeply, and then I can't take my eyes away again.

Vaguely, the sea breeze sent a whisper, and within a few words, I could deeply feel the shock and sigh hidden in it.

"Wow...this shot...it's really hard to imagine how it was done half a century ago? This..."
